- Which is a good thing.
-
- The one DELL ships is misconfigured somehow and will eventually eat the
- history files that Cnews uses -- you will then have a hell of mess on your
- hands. My suspicion is that they compiled NNTP and CNews to use different
- dbm/dbz version(s). Ouch!
-
- However, 1.5.11 is no great shakes to get running, and does work properly.
